Angela, Cam, Hodgins, Sweets, Max, Jared and Padme all sat on the chairs in the waiting room. Booth passed back and forth in front of them. A nurse walked in the room

"What's happening?!" Booth asked.

"Ms. Brennan is asleep. If you like you all may visit." The group got up and walked into Brennan's Hospital room. They sat in there, all of them talking except for Booth. Finally Cam and Angela shooed everyone out, but they let Booth be. He walked over to the bed Brennan was laying on and crouched down beside it. He stroked her hair and lightly brushed his fingers across her face. He watched as her chest slowly moved up and down, the only proof that she was alive.

"Bones," he said. "Why did you have to go out there? Why couldn't you have stayed inside, bones?" A tear dribbled down his face and dripped next to her. She had a broken arm, a broken leg, three cracked ribs, her neck was broken, and she had lost a lot of blood, but the doctors assured them that with a blood transfusion and a few weeks in bed she would be fine. Booth sat there bye her bed, staring at her and listening to her heart rate monitor. He leaned over and kissed her forehead, then came back down and whispered in her ear.

"I love you Temperance."
